Perhaps the most popular jewel Of the dey,
next to the diamond, is the sapphire. The
sort preferred and most costly because rarest
is that in which the color appears blue by
artificial light as we'll as by day, and in which
the blue is pure and spread over the whole
substance of the stone In inferior sapphires
the blue Is mixed with black, which gives an
inky appearance when seen by artificial light.
Sapphires are set sometimes alone, but
oftener with diamonds or rubies A beauti-
full design for pin seen recently represented

phire and ruby set in each leaf The sap

Another novelty is the double cut diamond,

cred novelty.

As the result of experiments, DR.. j. ".
Frazer reports that the digestion of starchy
food appears to be assisted 10y tea and coffee {:
that the glutin in flour is the principle least
retarded in digestion by tea, and it comes
third with cocoa, while coffee has a much
greater retarding action on it, From this it
appears that bread is the natural accompani
ment of tea and cocoa used as beverages at a
meal. He finds that meats are not much re-
tarded in digestion by coffee; that eggs are
the best form Of animal food to be taken with
infused beverages, being apparently best
when lightly boiled, if tea is used, and hard
boiled when coffee or cocoa is the beverage.

1t is a proof of fine breeding, says an au-
thority in the world of fashion, to seem to be
happy whether one is content or not. We
have no right to permit our mental or physi.
cal tastes or moods to depress or annoy other
persons. Moods should be our own secrets.
and If we have them not well in hand we may
be sure there is something for us to attain that
we cannot afford to live without, and that is
triumph over ourselves. One often feels the
need of "a perfect self containedness" at a
dinner table where food and sentiments may
not be to our liking.

President Cleveland Veto's the
Pension Bill.

Just as we expected President Cleve-
land vetO's the pension bill. It's the
gravest insult any president or person
ever gave the boys in blue. 1t is the
universal sentiment that he vetoed the
bill expecting that his chances for
denomination would be better than il
he signed the bill. 1t is the universal
sentiment that he vetoed the bill ex-
pecting that his chances for renomina-
ton would be better than if he signed
the bill. 1t may be among the average
democrat that is SO, but not among the
democratic soldier element. We will
risk our reputation on the prophecy
that he will never occupy the chair for
a second term. His goose is cooked and
it ought to be cooked hard. Col.
Watons of Milwaukee, in an editorial
speaks as follows;
"Mr. Cleveland will receive no thanks
from the survivors of Andersonville,
Libby Prison, Salisbury, Charleston and
Danville. The men who twenty-five
years ago stood in the cold, rain, sleet
and mud at Fort Donelson, will not
hasten to him with thanks for having
struck blow at their wrecked comrades
and their families. The men who were
at Gestysburg and Petersburg; Chicka-
manga, Knoxville, Fredericksburg, At
lanta; the storming of McCallister, the
Wilderness and Cold Harbor, and who
suffered in a thousand hospitals, are not
among those who will send him words of
graduation will not go to him from
homes of poverty on the prairies, the
mountains, in the vallies, the forest, or
the frontiers; homes where there is
hunger; where there are wrecks of hus-
bands and fathers, and poorly-clad
children. The Grand Army of the
Republic, made up in the main of as
good citizens as any country ever had,
will not join the cheap throng that is
landing the President for voting this
bill. Widows who have been bereft of
1loDdIuS WHO udl lOoG dill dIIH OT d leg
and had hoped to secure little pension
under the proposed laws, will not CRATE
fully thank Grover Cleveland for veto
ing bill which congress was so ready
to pass"
We hope congress will be wise enough
to pass the bill over the Presidents veto
and therefore do the old soldiers an
everlasting favor. Wait until you hear
from them at the next general election.

daughter was attacked with a severe
cold, which settled on her lungs We
tried several medicines, none Of which
seemed to do her any good, but she
continued to get worse, and finally
raised large amounts of blood from her
lungs. We called in a family physician,
but he failed to do her any good. AT

by Dr. VIM. Halls Balsam For The

After supper was nearly over al the
guests were taken violently sick. A doc

CUBAN HOME RULERS.

There is new party springing up on the
island OF Cuba that is likely to change
matters considerably in the management
of their country. They are home rulers,
pure and simple. They want the exor-
bitant taxes imposed upon them by Spain
abolished, they want Spanish soldiers re-
moved from every corner and cross-roed,
and they want Spanish placemen removed
from Ell government positions. They
want, in fine, TO bring about the freedom
and ascendaIcY of the native race and the
advancement Of those to the manor-born.
They want freedom and independence for
themselves and local autonomy and na-
tionsl standing for their country. The
close proximity OF the island to our coast
renders it Of more than ordinary interest
to this country. We may no. want to
make state out of 1t and bring it into
the Union, though even that might be
acceptable TO the residents, but we should
aid and encourage it to secure indepen-
dence for the sake Of justice. as we'll as
for prudential reasons. Cuba could
be q tower Of strength to this country
in case of war. She. properly
belongs to us-is our neighbor, our
natural ally, and should be our friend.
The time may not have come for Cuban
independence, but it will come event.
